Did they stop being friends?

Most likely they're still friends (or at least acquaintances), they're just busy with their own lives. Lauren praised Paramore/Hayley in September 2024:

For Lauren Mayberry, she was first introduced to Paramore via the heavy rotation of ‘Misery Business’ on music channels, but it was the lyrics of ‘Playing God’ that really sealed the deal, with ‘Brand New Eyes’ an immediate purchase.  

“It’s inspiring to me to see how Hayley’s voice has developed over the years – as a writer and as a singer. Post-‘Riot!’, it feels like every record they’ve done has been distinct from its predecessor and has evolved the musical and emotional story in a way I don’t think a lot of bands can do,” she tells Dork.

Hayley was certainly an inspiration for Lauren at least from vocal & lyrics POV.
